Apple has launched 24 new applications that take advantage of the new Retina display and other features in the latest Apple notepad.
If you intend to buy a new iPad in the coming days, you're probably wondering if there will be applications available designed specifically for your new purchase.
Well, rejoice, because Apple has launched 24 new applications that take advantage of the new Retina display and other features in the latest Apple notepad.
24 applications this is fine when you know that the SDK has been available for the developer community just two weeks ago.
Companies that have put a considerable effort to update their applications to be available at the output of the new iPad, were rewarded because Apple has created a section in its App Store, which marks the arrival of new software that will the happiness of the final recipients of the tablet.
This is a good marketing ploy for those companies that will surely sell hundreds, if not thousands of copies of the programs they prepared for the new iPad. Available applications ranging from video games to magazines to utilities and other applications
Even if operators can not sell themselves to the new Apple iPad, Bell, Telus and Rogers are very interested in popular electronic tablet, especially since it provides connectivity LTE. Operators are in seduction mode, and packages for their shelves are more interesting.
LTE packages for tablets offered by the three major Canadian operators still somewhat resemble. They all offer a flexible concept, where the user pays a monthly basis according to its consumption.
In all cases, the new LTE packages require a minimum payment frankly cheaper than in recent years, only $ 5 per month for 10 MB, up to 35 or $ 37 for 5 GB
10 MB is obviously insufficient for anything but the new formula allows at least to those who would benefit from their LTE device connectivity only occasionally (on vacation, etc..) To do so without having to equip a new SIM card each time, or at least without much harder.
Even more interesting now, to celebrate the launch of the new iPad, the three operators all offer promotions that should last until late March or late April.
Rogers offers include two months of unlimited downloads (and then four months with twice the download), Bell offers a free SIM card, no activation fees, and Telus offers commissioning, and a maximum monthly fee of $ 5 for the first two months.
If you hesitate to plug your tablet, now is probably a good time.
